The boat has sold

Less that 50 hours. 90 HP Suzuki, Sea Lion galvanized trailer, Sunbrella cockpit cover. Never in saltwater. New radio, antenna, stainless anchor and more. Stored in heated shop. Great shape inside and out. For more info and pics, email Dennis at: heartlandnd@midco.net

Sunbeam is right to be sceptical, I was light on my estimate and did not include the single axle trailer weight and some gas. Sorry I misspoke. We do not keep much stuff in the boat but most people seem to. That said, our 19 really calculates closer to 3000 lbs but have never actually put it...

Greetings, A 19 replies. Like always it depends. A 19 is a larger boat than a 16. From the windsheild forward it is the same as a 22 only lengthwise shorter. Towing weight can be quite a bit less than a 22. Most 22's are outfitted like a camper which is a lot of weight. I figure mine...

Thanks to all for the comments. I remember Will-C's comment about the lower unit possibly freezing as the min reason for a fall change. Some have tried just a draining the oil in the fall then filling in the spring. A marine mechanic told me thats fine for preventing freezing but you risk...

Greetings to the World Class boat blog! First year winterizing the engine on my 19 Angler (2008 4 stroke Suzuki 90). My experience is 2 stroke and inboards only. My past experience is to run the engine out of gas, stabalize the tank fuel, change the lower unit oil, and wait till spring. I...

Great boat photos. I am looking for some additional experienced advice on canvas. We are in an area that does not have good custom suppliers of canvas products. The current thinking is that our 19 Angler needs a bimini for fishing and cruising and a mooring cover similar to the picture of the...
